Currently based in Louisville, KY, USA, Susmita is known for her renderings of semi-classical Hindi bhajans, ghazals and Bengali songs (ragpradhan and Nazrul-geeti). She is also popular for her repertoire of Bengali folk songs. Gifted with a sonorous and melodious voice, Susmita was born in Calcutta (Kolkata), India. She was initiated into music by her mother, Mrs. Prabhati Roy, who is also a maternal aunt of the internationally famous Tabla Nawaaz Pandit Kumar Bose of Calcutta. Susmita later took her formal guidance in vocal music from Kumarji’s second brother, Pandit Jayanta Bose, an accomplished international vocalist and solo harmonium player.
